Oil paintings

The Long Engagement 2010

Measuring 3ft x 2ft. A contemporary adaptation of a well known master work of a similar title.

Self Portrait with Family

1st Prize Winner at

The Staffordshire Open Art Exhibition 2009

Measuring 1000mm x 1000mm, this work is completed from several photographs taken by the artist. This is Stephen's preferred method, taking his own photographs to get the best group shot and then taking various close ups for detail reference. Despite the painting having a fairly realistic representation, it still has a very loose feel, giving it a unique quality that only an oil painting on canvas can.

A painting of this size and detail can take many hours to prepare and complete, and as Stephen produces these in his spare time it can be a lengthy process.

Portraits are a particular passion and can vary in size and content, so feel free to enquire about this or any other aspect of Stephen's work.

Mr & Mrs McIvor

Davina & Peaches
